Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in a method for printing patterns or letters on substrates for printing (such as plastic containers) by thermal transfer of prints and to an apparatus useful in thermal transfer printing.
- the offset method has the disadvantage that since it operates by having different colors placed one after another on a rubber plate, the number of colors is limited and so-called process picture patterns using continuously changing colors cannot be printed.
- the silk screen method has the disadvantage that it suffers from a low printing speed in addition to its inability to print process picture patterns.
- the thermal transfer method comprises printing a picture pattern in advance on a transfer sheet by gravure printing and transferring the printed picture pattern through the agency of heat. Therefore, it is capable of producing clean prints. It nevertheless has a disadvantage in that the printing speed is low because (1) the transfer relies for heat and pressure on the hot roll and (2) the transfer sheet is expensive because the base sheet is high quality paper.
- the transfer sheet conventionally used in the prior art for the thermal transfer method as illustrated in FIG. 10, comprises a base sheet 21 made of quality paper, strips of a printing ink layer 3 formed as regularly spaced on the base sheet 21 through the medium of a peel layer 103, and an adhesive layer 105 applied on the printing ink layer 3.
- a frontal view of a transfer paper is shown (for example) in FIG.
- FIG. 3 which shows a transfer layout sheet 1 of continuous length made of a base sheet 21 on which printing ink surfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, etc. are coated at equal intervals, leaving a blank space 3 between each.
- a hot roller kept at (for example) 220° C. and, at the same time, pressing it against a given substrate for printing with the hot roller, the printing ink layer 4 is transferred in conjunction with the aforementioned adhesive layer 105 to the substrate.
- FIG. 1 A modified version of the machine shown in FIG. 1 has been known in which a sensor 13 is provided in the position indicated by the dotted line.
- numeral 5 denotes the supplying roll axle around which the transfer paper 1 is wound
- numeral 6 denotes the takeup roll axle for taking up transfer paper 1a used in transferring, which is intermittently driven and rotated.
- An encouraging means (not shown) for rotating the supplying roll axle 5 reversely in relation to the direction in which the transfer paper 1 is pulled out is attached to the supplying roll axle 5.
- a clutch plate rotating the supplying roll axle 5 in the reverse direction by virtue of frictional force may, for example, be used as this encouraging means.
- This clutch plate encourages the supplying roll axle 5, being in contact therewith, to rotate constantly in the reverse direction in relation to the pull-out direction. This encouraging force is adjusted to be smaller than the pull-out force for the transfer paper 1 caused by rotational force of the takeup roll axle 6 and a heat roll 7. While the takeup roll axle 6 and the heat roll 7 are working, the clutch plate and the supplying roll axle 5 slip therebetween so that the supplying roll axle 5 rotates in the pull-out direction of the transfer paper 1.
- the heat roll 7 for the heat transfer is usually installed to be movable upwards and downwards and is driven to constantly rotate in the counterclockwise direction, and, when moved downwards, presses the transfer paper 1 against an object of transfer 8 to perform transference by virtue of its heat.
- the heat roll 7 is heated to approximately 200 degrees by a heating means such as an infrared heater, which is not shown in the drawings.
- the objects of transfer 8 are successively fed from a feeding path 9 and successively or intermittently moved beneath the heat roll 7, one after another, by being loosely inserted on mandrels which are rotatably provided in rotating plates 10 which rotates in a clockwise direction. After the heat transfer is finished, the object of transfer 8 is transferred through a feeding-out path 12 to a next step.
- the sensor 13 using a photoelectric tube, senses the ends of the printing ink surfaces 3a, 3b, etc. and commands the rotation of the takeup roll axle to stop.
- the sensor 13 has been placed above the moving path of the transfer paper 1 immediately below the heat roll 7 where the center of the blank space 4 is to be stopped.
- the heat transfer is performed by such a machine described in the following manner. That is, the roll of the transfer paper 1 is set on the supplying roll axle 5 and hung therefrom over the takeup roll 6, as indicated by a solid line in FIG. 1. Next, the takeup roll axle 6 is rotated and stopped in a position where the leading tip of the initial printing ink surface 3a closely approaches the position immediately below the heat roll 7. This position is identified by using the sensor 13.
- the heat roll descends and feeds out the transfer paper 1 towards the takeup roll, performing heat transfer onto the object of transfer 8.
- the transfer paper 1a which has undergone the transfer process gradually hangs down as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1.
- the takeup roll 6 begins to rotate and wind up a part of the suspended transfer paper 1a.
- the heat roll 7 moves upwards and winds up an amount of the transfer paper 1a corresponding to one pitch.
- the rotation of the takeup roll axle 6 stops when the sensor 13 has sensed the end of the printing ink surface.
- the blank spaces 4 formed between the printing ink surfaces 3a, 3b, etc. of the transfer paper are provided for the purpose of avoiding deformation of figures and patterns on the transfer paper due to any stretching thereof near the heat roll which might be caused by the heat.
- This blank space of the conventional art has a length of as much as 30 to 50 mm. Accordingly, there has been a problem in that the transfer layout sheet is greatly elongated and its cost is thus high.
- a method for thermal transfer printing which comprises heating a transfer sheet having a printing ink layer formed on a base sheet with a hot roller, wherein said base sheet is a biaxially stretched plastic film, and concurrently pressing said transfer sheet against a substrate for printing with the same hot roller, thereby transferring said printing ink layer onto said substrate, wherein said substrate is preheated prior to said pressing.
- the invention also comprises an improvement in a transfer printing machine having a supplying roll axle for a roll of transfer paper urged to rotate in the rewinding direction; a heat roller for performing heat transfer by pressing one surface of the transfer paper on which printing ink is not applied so as to cause the transfer paper to pressingly contact the object of transfer; and a takeup roll axle adapted for intermittently rotating and taking up, for each rotation thereof, one pitch of the transfer paper having undergone said transfer, said improvement being characterized by comprising a pull back mechanism for partially pulling back, by utilizing an urging force, each said pitch of transfer paper having been fed in each period of the transfer cycle before the next transfer cycle is started. Both the method and apparatus provide for reduced expense of thermal transfer printing.

- FIG. 9 is a front view schematically illustrating a transfer apparatus that can be used in the practice of the method of the present invention.
- FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a typical transfer sheet used in conventional methods.
- This invention has been produced for the purpose of solving the drawbacks suffered by the conventional methods as described above.
- One aspect of the invention is characterized by using a biaxially stretched plastic film as the base sheet and, at the same time, effecting the thermal transfer after the substrate for printing has been preheated.
- this aspect of the invention is directed to a method for transfer printing by heating a transfer sheet having a printing ink layer formed on a base sheet with a hot roller and, at the same time, pressing the transfer sheet against a substrate for printing with the hot roller thereby transferring the printing ink layer to the substrate, which method is characterized by using biaxially stretched plastic film as the base sheet and, at the same time, effecting the transfer after the substrate for printing has been preheated.
- the transfer sheet has strips of printing ink layer superposed as regularly spaced on a base sheet.
- a peel layer is formed on the base sheet by first applying a peeling agent and, when necessary, superposing a top coat thereon.
- the peeling agent so used is either of an acrylic type or of a chloride-rubber type.
- the top coat may be formed, for example, by using the peeling agent as described above.
- an adhesive layer intended to provide required adhesion on the curved surface of a given container is superposed.
- the material for the adhesive layer is selected to suit both the material forming the printing ink surface and that forming the outer surface of the container.
- the method of this invention is characterized by using a film of biaxially stretched plastic as the base sheet for the transfer sheet of the foregoing description.
- the thickness of the base sheet is variable with the temperature of the hot roll, the preheating temperature of the container, the length of transfer time, etc., it is important that this thickness should at least exceed the minimum required for withstanding the heat used during the course of transfer. In most cases, the proper thickness falls in the range of 10 to 50 ⁇ m.
- an unstretched film is unsuitable because the film has the possibility of stretching out and deforming the printed ink surface.
- a monoaxially stretched film is also unsuitable because this film has the possibility of sustaining fracture.
- the kinds of containers subjected to printing by the method of this invention are not specifically restricted.
- Typical examples of such containers are various containers having layers of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, vinyl chloride, polycarbonate, and acryl resin on the outermost surfaces thereof; plastic handles, as for writing utensils; and cans of iron, aluminum, and other metals.
- These containers are used for holding beverages, foodstuffs, cosmetic articles, medicines, and the like.
- the temperature of the hot roller is required not to exceed 240° C. and is particularly desired to fall below 230° C. Although this temperature is variable with the materials for the adhesive layer, the peel layer, and the printing ink layer, it is desired to exceed 170° C. where the container is used for holding a foodstuff and, therefore, is destined to be heated, for example, in a retort.
- the preheating temperature is desired to be as high as possible within the range in which the temperature has no adverse effect on the container.
- the preheating temperature is proper in the range of 90° to 130° C.
- the type of preheating means is irrelevant. An electric heater, an infrared ray heater, or a flow of hot air can be utulized effectively.
- this preheating is desirably carried out within a space enclosed by a box, for example.
- the adoption of the biaxially stretched plastic film as a base sheet in the place of quality paper improves the conduction of heat from the hot roll to the printing ink layer, and the preheating of the substrate for printing enables the thermal transfer printing to proceed rapidly and produce a clear print.
- the present invention also provides an apparatus capable of reducing blank space on the transfer sheet.
- An apparatus is arranged such that a means for pulling back the transfer paper which has undergone the transfer process by the heat roll is disposed on the moving path of the transfer paper.
- This pullback means may be a kind which uses a sensor such as a photoelectric tube for detecting a particular position of the transfer paper or a kind which uses a movable bar for tensioning the transfer paper.
- the position may be shifted toward the supplying roll by the extent of the pullback from the position it assumes in the conventional position arrangement. It is easily understood that there is an appropriate position for the sensor in this way which corresponds to each pitch of the transfer paper 1 on the moving path of the transfer paper 1 and 1a. If the position is to be detected on the side of the transfer paper 1a, a suitable mark for detection by the sensor can be previously marked on the transfer layout sheet.
- the pullback distance is limited to a range sufficient to reduce the influence of the heat of the heat roll on the leading tip of the printing ink surface to next undergo the transfer. The distance may usually be limited to a point corresponding to the center of the blank space 4 on the conventional transfer paper. If a longer pullback distance is assumed, it is necessary for the heat roll 7 to rotatively and pressingly contact the object of transfer 8 for a correspondingly longer period.
- the movable bar is provided on the moving path of the transfer paper 1a, and the transfer paper la is suspended on the movable bar, so that the moving path is elongated to the extent of the loop formed by the suspended length of the paper.
- the movable bar moves and shortens the length of the moving path so that the transfer paper retreats by a corresponding amount.
- the pullback distance and the period of the rotative, pressing contact of the heat roll are similar to the above.
- FIG. 4 An example of a sheet of transfer paper used in a machine according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 4.
- This transfer paper 1 is similar to the transfer paper 1 used in the machine of the conventional art which is shown in FIG. 3. It is, however, characterized by the shortened width of the blank space 4.
- the objects of transfer are not limited to a particular type but may include any type of object on which transfer can be affected with a heat roll.
- object on which transfer can be affected with a heat roll For example, cylindrical surfaces of plastic receptacles are suitable object for this process.
- FIG. 5 shows the movement of the transfer paper immediately below the heat roll.
- Part (1) of FIG. 5 shows the condition before the heat roll descends and starts the heat transfer operation.
- the heat roll 7 descends and causes the transfer paper 1 to progress, at the same time performing the heat transfer operation.
- the condition wherein this transfer is effected is shown in part (2) of FIG. 5.
- Part (3) of FIG. 5 shows the condition in which the transfer operation has been completed.
- the heat roll 7 has already moved uwpards, and the takeup roll has started rotating, but the suspension of the transfer paper 1a is still maintained.
- FIG. 1 A front view of a machine embodying the present invention is shown in FIG. 1.
- This machine is similar to the conventional machine except that the position of the sensor 13 is shifted from point A to point B. Consequently, the stopping position of the takeup roll 6 is moved closer to the supplying roll, corresponding to this shift, and the surplus portion which is suspended is pulled back and rewound by the supplying roll, so that the next transfer is started from this position.
- the transfer has been performed by using this machine, applying, as an object of transfer, a laminated pipe for a can barrel which is, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 2 A front view of a machine as the embodiment using a movable bar is shown in FIG. 2.
- the movable bar 14 is provided on the moving path of the transfer paper 1a which has undergone the transfer process, and is constructed such that it can tension and loosen, in its reciprocating movement, the transfer paper 1a suspended on this movable bar.
- the movable bar 14 is placed initially in a position indicated by the solid line of FIG. 2 and moves to a position of the dotted line after the sensor 13 has stopped the rotation of the takeup roll axle 6 and ceased its work, before the heat roll 7 descends.
- the suspended portion of the transfer paper whereby caused is pulled back and rewound by the supplying roll, followed by the descent of the heat roll 7 and the heat transfer process.
- the movable bar returns to the position of the solid line when one fed portion of the transfer paper 1a is about to recover. Transfer using this machine has been performed to a laminated pipe for a can barrel, which is, as shown in FIG.
- the blank space alone is located immediately below the heat roll so that the heat of the heat roll does not affect the printing ink surfaces. Accordingly, it is possible for the dimension of the blank space to be reduced to approximately one half or a quarter of the dimension necessary for the conventional art. Thus, the number of the transfer cycles in a unitary length of the transfer paper can be increased, while the unit cost of the transfer can be reduced.
- a laminate tube for a can barrel consisting sequentially in the outward direction as illustrated in FIG. 6 of an unstretched polypropylene layer A 70 ⁇ m in thickness, a carboxylic acid-grafted polypropylene adhesive layer B 7 ⁇ m in thickness, an aluminum foil layer C 9 ⁇ m in thickness, a urethane type adhesive layer D applied at a rate of 4.5 g/m 2 , an unstretched polypropylene layer E 30 ⁇ m in thickness, a urethane type adhesive layer F applied at a rate of 4.5 g/m 2 , a superposed sheet 22 of unstretched polypropylene 200 ⁇ m in thickness, a coating plastic layer 23 of a 1:1 mixture of polypropylene and calcium carbonate about 600 ⁇ m in thickness, a coating layer 24 of polypropylene block copolymer 10 to 20 ⁇ m in thickness, transfer printing was carried out with a transfer printing apparatus under the following conditions.
- Base sheet for transfer sheet Biaxially stretched polyester film 12 ⁇ m in thickness
- the transfer printing apparatus used in this printing operation is illustrated in FIG. 9 and comprises a feed roll shaft 5 for transfer sheet 1, a hot roll 7, a takeup roll shaft 6, a sensor 13 for issuing commands to start and stop the takeup roll shaft 6, and a mechanism for feeding a laminate tube 8.
- the transfer sheet 1 is fed out of the feed roll shaft 5, passes under the heat roll 7, and is wound up on the takeup roll shaft 6.
- the feed roll shaft 5 is constantly urged in the direction opposite the direction of feeding of the transfer sheet 1 so as to preclude the transfer sheet from the otherwise possible loosening of the transfer sheet.
- the takeup roll shaft 6 is intermittently driven by the commands from the sensor 13.
- the heat roll 7 is continuously rotated and, at the same time, intermittently moved vertically and, at the lower reach of the vertical motion thereof, pressed into contact with the laminate tube 8 through the medium of the transfer sheet 1 so as to impart rotation to the laminate tube 8 and effect transfer printing.
- the mechanism for feeding the laminate tube 8 comprises a feed path 9, a box-shaped hot-air heater 15, a rotary plate 10 having a plurality of mandrels 11 rotatably attached thereto, and a discharge path 12.
- this apparatus Before the transfer printing is started, this apparatus is in such a state that the hot roll 7 is at the upper reach of the vertical motion thereof and the transfer sheet 1 is at a stop where the center of a margin 4 between adjacent printing ink faces 3 (FIG. 3) falls directly below the hot roll 7.
- a multiplicity of laminate tubes 8 are continuously fed through the feed path 9, loosely nipped by the mandrels 11, and advanced by the rotation of the rotary plate 10 to a point directly below the hot roll 7. Then, the hot roll 7 is lowered and pressed into contact with the laminate tube 10 and caused to impart rotation to the laminate tube and effect transfer printing thereon.
- the hot roll 7 is elevated and the sensor 13 is actuated to rotate the takeup roll shaft 6 by an angle equivalent to one pitch of the transfer sheet 1.
- the next laminate tube is advanced by the rotation of the rotary plate 10 to the point directly below the hot roll, with the result that the apparatus is readied for the next round of transfer printing.
- the laminate tube 8 which has undergone the transfer printing and has been brought to the discharge path 12 is released via the discharge path 12 and transferred to the next step.
- the transfer sheet 1 used in this working example had a construction whose cross section is shown in FIG. 8 and whose top view is shown in FIG. 3 or 4.
- This transfer sheet 1 comprised a base sheet 2 of biaxially stretched polypropylene film 20 ⁇ m in thickness, a peel layer 103, a printing ink layer 3, and an adhesive layer 105.
- the printing ink layer 3 consists of a plurality of strips regularly spaced by a margin 4 as illustrated in FIG. 3 or 4.
- Base sheet for transfer sheet Biaxially stretched polypropylene film 20 ⁇ m in thickness.
- the printing cost can be lowered by using the base sheet of inexpensive biaxially stretched plastic film in the transfer sheet and the speed of printing can be increased to 5 to 10 times as high as that of the conventional method by having the substrate for printing heated in advance.
